Imagine that, barriers went up on Obama's watch?
So not only an emergency with illegals leaking through - but folks forget the drug epidemic. And that fentanyl crap is no joke and will kill millions.
Stop the drugs. Stop the influx of illegals. Put up a wall or barriers and increase agents and everything else.

Sen. David Perdue Went to the Border To See for Himself, He Was Not Prepared for What He Saw
Sen. David Perdue of Georgia said he was “not prepared” for the explosion in drug trafficking that he learned about during a recent visit to the U.S. border with Mexico.
“I saw something that I was not expecting,” the Republican lawmaker told The Western Journal at the Conservative Political Action Conference outside of Washington, D.C., late last week.
“I expected to see the human trafficking, and we saw that with (Border) Patrol overnight,” Perdue said. “What I was not prepared for was the size and scope and how dramatically the drug trafficking has grown.”
He said that there has been an “explosion” in drug trafficking in the McAllen, Texas, area, where he visited.
The senator said seizures of fentanyl are up 73 percent from a year ago and methamphetamine is also flowing through the border at high levels.
“This is a drug crisis of gargantuan proportion,” Perdue said.
He said Mexican cartels use human trafficking as a “distraction” to tie up Border Patrol agents, making it easier for drug traffickers to slip through.
Cartels are thought to make about $2 billion in human trafficking, while trafficking drugs nets over $30 billion, Perdue said.
The senator related there is no doubt in his mind that what is happening at the border is a crisis, noting that is how former President Barack Obama described it, as well.
Perdue said 135 miles of barriers were built along the southern border while Obama was in office.
President Donald Trump has 124 miles under construction and improvement to existing barriers underway, and Congress just authorized 55 miles of new construction, Perdue said.
About 650 miles of the 1,954-mile border are covered with barriers of various forms, including 374 miles of pedestrian fencing, CNN reported.
Perdue said there’s no question that walls work.
